I would like to wish everyone a very happy and healthy new year.
For Saint George Lodge, 2018 will be an exciting year.

We will be having a 1st Degree on Wednesday, January 24th,
on what should be 4 candidates.
A 1st Degree will start at 6:30, with dinner to follow at the completion of the first section.
Please come out and support these four men who are excited to join our Lodge.
Our Lodge is active and growing, and nothing is better than that.
And while that is said, there should be no resting on our laurels;
we need to find and encourage more worthy men to join our Lodge and the fraternity.

At the gift card drive on December 9th, we collected over $1400 in gift cards.
I would like to thank George Hebert for arranging to have
Brother David Oliver perform his magic for us.
Between the Singing Trooper, Dan Clark, and David Oliver,
it was truly an extraordinary evening.
Thank you for everyone who helped make this evening possible.
We even had Edeljooky Louis, who hasnít even taken his 1st Degree yet,
prepare our entire meal.
And letís not forget Wor Gary King,
who also cooked and made the whole meal possible.

I would also like to thank all of the Brothers of St. George
for coming together and voting to support The Masonic Temple Building Association
by pledging our support for the completion of an ADA bathroom for our building.
Our future is what we make of it now.
This year will be busy with many Degrees and events,
and I hope everyone finds a chance to come out
and support all the work that the officers of the Lodge are diligently working on.
There is nothing more rewarding than sitting in the East of Saint George Lodge,
and I look forward to seeing everyone soon.
